i cannot understand how you can cut medicare $716 billion for current recipients of medicare. you point out, well, we're putting some back, we're going to get a better prescription program. that's $1 for every $15 you've cut. they're smart enough to know that's not a good trait. i want to take that $716 billion you've cut and put it back into medicare. by the way, we can include a prescription program if we need to improve in. but the idea of cutting $716 billion from medicare to be able to balance the additional cost of obamacare is a mistake. and with regards to young people coming along, i've got proposals to make sure that medicare and social security are there for them without any question. >> first of all, i think i.t. is important for governor romney to present his plans to he says will only affect folks in the future. and the essence of the plan is that he would turn medicare into a voucher program. it's called premium support, but it's understood to be about the program. his running mate -- >> and you don't support that? >> i don't, and let me explain why -- >> again,

congress didn't steal money from medicare. they preserve and protect it and extended its life. >> up next question is from kevin o'hanlon, directed towards senator kerrey. >> the united states, as you know, has been at war since 2001. it is safe to say that most americans are war weary. that said, what should the u.s. policy be towards iran and syria specifically, and would you use force, and does it require the prior consent of congress? >> a course requires the prior consent of congress. president obama should have gone to get the consent of congress before taking action in libya. i don't think we should allow iran to allowed to clear weapons, but i think we have to be very careful. i went to a war that was very popular when it started, and that after people started killing and dying, it got unpopular and we wanted to get it done. the same thing is happening afghanistan today. this war on terror did not start in 2001. we were attacked before that. our barracks in lebanon were attacked in 1983. we were attacked and in 1993 an
